Fast riding requires equipment that can protect riders. Constructed of full grain leather in a gauntlet style, the Vertex glove covers hands and wrists while extending over jacket cuffs. Dual closures around wrists and forearms make sure there is no chance of it coming off. Topside, a composite knuckle guard uses woven fibers to disperse the energy associated with hard contact to the ground. A large area behind the knuckle guard acts as a vent, allowing greater cooling. Thumbs have extra padding to reduce glove wear and increase abrasion resistance. Double stitching keeps it together during times when you need it the most. Sport riders and trackday/racer type will appreciate this glove.
